Bulldog Tours

We had our 9 year old son with us. It was NOT scary for a 9 year old.... more interesting than scary. He loved it!!

Fran was an excellent hostess and very informative. We really enjoyed all the places she took us to. Would highly recommend this food tour to anyone. The tour started on time and ended when it was supposed to. Can't say enough about it. Thanks again! Tresa Cleland

Well. it started to be what was expected to be a tour of a jail that were used during the 1800's and early 1900's. We were not expecting to only view 4 rooms within the jail and not see one actual jail cell. The guide was very informative but never stopped talking long enough for us to take photos or listen for creaks and sounds that one would typically wish to encounter on a "Haunted " tour. the large group (about 20) were ushered through the jail house . The jail house was under reconstruction and most areas were off limits, there were also students working on other sections while we were on the tour. Was definitely NOT the experience we were expecting and would of rathered taken a walking tour instead . May reconsider a visit once restorations are complete and more of the jail is opened up. but for now I do not recommend it.

great

There was a lot of history and facts included which I enjoyed. He encouraged us to interact and ask questions too. I liked our tour guide a lot. He was really energetic! Unfortunately, I forgot his name or I would give him credit!

This was an interesting tour and our guide was really good at creating suspense without being too hokey. The jail and that period of time being scary enough so no need to throw in fake theatrics. It's a great way for teenagers to learn a bit of history and have fun at the same time. We did the tour after dark and it enhanced the experience. The tour through the architectural lab was very interesting as well. Nice to know about the preservation effort.

I loved tge knowelde of the tour guidr

The tour was a lot of fun and my group and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for something cool to do in Charleston. The tour guide was very nice, knowledgeable, and entertaining. The stories were spooky and entertaining. Even if you never see a ghost on the tour you will not be disappointed, though you might want to check your camera afterwards.

Enjoyed. Next time want to do the jail tour.

Great tour - lots of history

All in all a very pleasant 2 hours. I would have personally preferred to get to the waterfront a little bit more but that's me. 2 hours is not too long and keeps it interesting

None of the foods were new to me except the Sweet Potato Cornbread. It would have been nice if more histories of the various foods were presented. Rice is big in Charleston, but little if any info about rice was mentioned. I'll admit, I was disappointed but probably more of a disappointment for us because we are southern and knew all the foods ahead of time. The guide was nice, but I wouldn't do it again had I known how long it would take vs. how little of a "new" experience I would be getting for the money. I thought it strange that we were given ample "shopping" time in the gadget store, but encouraged not to shop in the spice store. I am sure people from other places than the south would feel differently. I wish we had done a different tour. I was happy with the ease of reservating tour, and the people that worked in the office, and how nice the tour guide was. The content was not what I hoped it would be. We took one of Bulldog's night tours (the one about prostitution and organized crime) and it was great! We also loved our carriage tour.

GREAT jOB

Since much of the jail was inaccessible due to restoration in progress by a local craftman's tech school, I feel that we did not see many parts of the jail. There appeared to be so much more of the building that what we actually got to see. Calling it a tour is somewhat of a misnomer. I also feel that the moderator's presentation was uninteresting, his voice being mono-toned and without emotion, though the story-line was intriguing. It felt like he was going through the motions, which took away from the premise of being a "haunted tour". I Would not recommend on hot nights for anyone with health issues since the jail gets extremely hot inside by night's end. I would also recommend that "Bull Dog" tours include a carriage ride to the jail from their check in site...this would make the tour worth it even with a boring moderator.

The tour guide was really entertaining and had some great stories to tell. I thought we would spend more time in the graveyard and there was another tour group in the graveyard with us. That was a little destracting. That night I think there were 4 tour groups for this particular Ghost and Graveyard Tour so there was probably no way around it. I would take this tour again. However, next time I visit Charleston I would like to take the Haunted Jail or the Dungeon Tour. I would definately recommend waiting for the cooler months before going on this tour. It was alot of walking and HOT !!!! From 1 to 10 I would rate this tour a firm 7.
